It’s a damn Fram ham slam! So, go cram with the fam and join this jam, ma’am!
Exciting news! Fram2 is thrilled to announce Fram2Ham, a pioneering ham radio competition 🚀📻 While orbiting Earth, we'll transmit images of various locations—but with a twist: they’ll be cut and mixed-up in puzzle pieces. The challenge? Assemble the pieces, identify the location, and uncover its polar history significance. Learn more and join the adventure at In kind collaboration with Amateur Radio on the ISS @ARISS_Intl Looking forward to having you onboard! @framonauts

@AaronTeasdale @adventurevida @jeffmoag Aaron’s article is correct. It’s well researched with verification from experts and professionals in the polar expeditioning community - explorers, guides, classification specialists. O’Brady’s Impossible First expedition was never impossible and a first in a very limited way.
